Why the Aalto Kymppi?

Aalto University emphasizes the importance of a sporting lifestyle to personal wellbeing. Aalto Kymppi aims to encourage staff and students to embrace exercise as part of everyday life.

We wish to include as many participants as possible in the event: one thousand places in the Kymppi event are reserved for Aalto and extra places may be reserved, if necessary, to ensure that all those from Aalto who wish to take part can do so. Aalto University will pay the participation fees for Aalto Kymppi.

Aalto Kymppi is to become an annual tradition that will bring Aalto University staff and students together to exercise each fall.
